Today I would like to recommend a fine novel to you.

"I was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan", Su Mengshi, a level 1 author.

Category: Light Novel-Original Fantasy.

【Introduction】

Traveling back to ancient Japan in 1789, during the Edo period, a period of peace and prosperity.

At the beginning, you only have the identity of a low-level samurai, a sword, and a system that can improve your personal level and sword skill level by defeating or killing enemies.

……

"What will I do when I encounter a strong enemy? I will draw my second sword and switch to my true swordsmanship—Ninto-ryu."

"What if I still can't win?"

"Then I'll take out my revolver and put a bullet in the enemy's head."

Ogata Issei - the "great swordsman" with titles such as "Man-Slayer Issei" and "Executioner Itousai" replied.

【Brief Comment】

The author's previous work, "A Military Genius Comes to Another World with Zizhi Tongjian", has 373 million words and is still being serialized.

So, he is a dual-opening master, a dual-blade wielder.

The new book "I was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan" was put on the shelves on November 20, with 7400 first orders and a subscription-to-book ratio of 5.8, ranking first in the same period. The boutique badge was lit on December 10.

As of now, Qidian has 5.67 collections, 13 fans, and 2 alliance leaders.

This book is updated very quickly, with more than 8,000 words updated every day, and it is not uncommon to see 10,000 words updated daily.

It is really amazing that it can be opened to this extent.

Although the author is only level 1 now, with this excellent book that has nearly 10,000 orders, he should be able to reach level 3 next month.

The story revolves around the time-traveling Ogata Issei, who was originally an ordinary low-ranking samurai with mediocre swordsmanship. However, with the help of the system, every training and sparring session can increase his experience and improve his skills, gradually growing into a great swordsman.

He often introduces Japanese history in his "Writer's Notes" to help readers who are unfamiliar with the history familiarize themselves with the story. He often introduces the system's attribute panel, swordsmanship techniques and styles, using simple and easy-to-understand words that immediately bring out the visuals.

Although the writing is not particularly strong and the fighting scenes are not particularly gorgeous, the basic story is still explained very clearly.

Although it is a system-based story, sword-wielding practice is still very hard work, and dealing with human relationships still depends on the protagonist's wisdom.

The point is, the author is well aware that the novels written by amateurs must be updated frequently, and using the number of words to retain readers is actually a technical job.

Volume creates miracles, practice makes perfect, the ancients were right~
So, if you are interested in novels about samurai in the Edo period of Japan, you can take a look at this one.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This book has not been discontinued and is still being updated. It has already reached 122 million words and the author's account has been upgraded to level 4.

Congratulations, that's very rare.

I just checked the latest data again, and the updates are indeed very stable, basically around 6,000 words, and occasionally there will be an update of 10,000 words.

Although the update volume has decreased a bit compared to the beginning.

But it’s better than many people’s updates.

However, the daily increase in collections is 100 and the increase in fans is 400, which seems not strong enough.

I don’t know if there are still 1000 or 500 follow-up subscriptions for this book.

According to the new perfect attendance standards, he should still have it.

However, people may not necessarily value perfect attendance. It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After eating enough fish and meat, it is hard to resist eating vegetables and tofu.

So how much longer can this book last?
Please wait and see!
